FAQs About the Band
Who are They Might Be Giants?
They're a band. You can read about them here:
www.theymightbegiants.com
tmbw.net/wiki/They_Might_Be_Giants
Where can I see the band?
Good question! They tour frequently, but the best way to figure out when they'll be in your town is to go to their website or to the "shows" category on the Wiki. You can also check out the "Upcoming Shows" board; there's a sticky there that'll be updated whenever the band notifies us of touring dates.
What's the difference between a family show and an adult show?
Family shows are essentially shows for kids. They're a little quieter and the setlists are largely composed of stuff off kids' albums, with the occasional adult song thrown in -- think Particle Man and Doctor Worm. While family shows are fun for all ages, adult shows (or rock shows, as they're usually called) are not.
FAQs About the Forum
My confirmation email didn't come.
Check your spam folder. They end up there sometimes.
What's the point of this place?
It's a place for people to come together and talk about the band, and for any newcomers to ask questions of more seasoned fans. It's NOT an all-encompassing fan site by any means. Just a forum.
Are you affiliated with the band?
No.
Those ads are kind of annoying.
I know, right?
Why can't I post pictures in my signature?
Because putting too many images in signatures makes the forum look kind of messy, and we're aiming for ease of use. You can make your own avatar, though!
Why can't guests post?
It's an attempt to keep spam levels down. Registering is a breeze, I promise.
Why is the layout so blah?
Just keeping it simple. Black-on-white is pretty easy to read.
Why isn't there an off-topic board where I can post things about politics/video games/my preferred brand of face cream?
Well... this is a forum about They Might Be Giants. If there's a huge demand, we can certainly start an off-topic board, but for now let's stick with TMBG.
